Bukovinka: Cycling, Hiking and Protected Nature

If you are looking for a hotel in Bukovinka, you can choose where to stay based on the activities you want to shape your visit. The municipality includes the Rakovecké stráně a údolí bledulí Nature Reserve. Bukovinka is also a good starting point for trips to the nearby Moravský kras. This gives you two distinct options for planning: a protected landscape within the municipality and a wider area for excursions.

Nature and Landscape in Bukovinka

The Rakovecké stráně a údolí bledulí Nature Reserve protects old forests consisting mainly of deciduous trees, as well as extensively managed meadows. The two points of reference are in different locations: the nature reserve lies within the municipality, while the nearby Moravský kras is a destination for trips from Bukovinka. If you want to plan your trip around the landscape, you can distinguish between the natural area on your doorstep and the wider excursion region.

Cycling Routes Around Bukovinka

Two different details can help with your cycling plans. The marked cycling routes around Bukovinka run mostly along paved forest roads and are also suitable for families with children. Bukovinka is also a suitable starting point and destination for cycling trips through the Moravský kras. This means that, when comparing options, the mostly paved surfaces are the main point of reference for routes around the village, while Bukovinka’s role as a starting point and destination matters for trips through the karst. The markings and mostly paved surfaces apply to the routes around Bukovinka; the starting-point and destination role applies to cycling trips through the Moravský kras. Check the condition of the routes before setting out, as surfaces may change.

Hiking and the Church

The Cesta S. K. Neumanna hiking trail leads on foot from the trail junction by the church in Bukovinka, through Křtiny and across the Moravský kras, to Bílovice. Its route provides clear guidance for planning: Bukovinka is the starting point, Křtiny is along the way, and Bílovice is the destination. Before setting out, check the trail’s name and markings locally. This lets you plan the hike as a separate part of your trip while also including the places along the route in your plans.

The filial Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary was built in 1773. Along with its location at the trail junction, it is a cultural point of interest in its own right in Bukovinka. If you also want to take the history of the village into account during your trip, the church adds a historical point of interest to the hiking option.

Getting There and Finding Your Way

Bus route 157 connects Vyškov, Bukovinka, Bukovina and Křtiny. Check the timetable before travelling if you plan to use this connection. The four named places make the connection specific for your travel plans, while the timetable provides the practical basis for choosing your travel day. If you arrive in Bukovinka from the direction of Račice via the main road, there is a small chapel beside the road. It is a landmark for this particular approach.
